The 2025 season hasn’t been easy for the Plumas Charter Warriors varsity volleyball team—but through highs and lows, they’re building character, resilience and momentum.
So far this year, the Warriors have fought through a challenging schedule. A standout moment came on Sept. 24, when they snapped a four-game home losing streak with a 3-2 victory over Westwood (25-21, 20-25, 18-25, 25-19, 15-13) taking sets convincingly and securing a meaningful boost at home.
One of their stronger performances came against Herlong, where they won in straight sets 3-0 (25-16, 25-19, 25-18), handing the Vikings another tough night on their home court. That win ended a string of road droughts and raised the Warriors’ league record.
But challenges persist. The team dropped a 1-3 match to Princeton, marking their ninth straight loss against that program. They’ve also struggled in matches such as defeats to Paradise Adventist (2-3) and Portola (0-3), highlighting opportunities for continued growth.
Despite challenges, the Warriors have shown strong teamwork. Their ability to bounce back, push teams to five sets, and close tough home matches speaks to resilience beyond what the stat sheet captures. During their win over Westwood, they were dominant in the sets they took—scoring at least 15 points each time. That kind of performance shows what the team is capable of when everything clicks.
The Herlong match also signaled that they’re learning to control momentum—limiting a rival to mid-teens scoring across each set shows a level of poise under pressure.
With community support and their determination, the Warriors are laying a foundation for a strong finish—and a promising future for the program.
